Add Trail Toughness and a Filled Out Stance Without Giving Up Tire Retention
Stock wheels on most trucks and SUVs look small next to larger tires and can flex more than enthusiasts want when the pavement ends. The Method MR703 Bead Grip wheel is built from A356 aluminum with a T6 heat treatment, giving it real strength for off road use while keeping weight reasonable at 32.2 pounds. The patented Bead Grip technology mechanically engages the tire bead so drivers can run lower tire pressure on the trail for better traction and comfort without the maintenance headaches of a true beadlock setup. Finished in a clean machined face with clear coat, this 17x8.5 wheel in a 6x139.7 (6x5.5) bolt pattern with a plus 35mm offset fits a wide range of popular trucks and SUVs.

FAQ
What is the Method MR70378560335 wheel?
It's a 17x8.5 Method MR703 Bead Grip wheel with a plus 35mm offset, 6x139.7 (6x5.5) bolt pattern, and a machined clear coat finish, built from A356 aluminum for off road strength and tire retention at low pressures.
What vehicles use a 6x139.7 or 6x5.5 bolt pattern?
This bolt pattern is common on many Toyota, Nissan, Chevrolet, GMC, and Ford trucks and SUVs, including several Tacoma, 4Runner, Tundra, Titan, Silverado, Sierra, and Bronco model years. Always confirm your specific bolt pattern and offset before ordering.
What does Bead Grip technology actually do?
Bead Grip mechanically engages the tire bead at the bead seat, helping the tire stay seated at lower air pressures often used off road, without requiring the extra hardware or maintenance of a true beadlock wheel.
Will this wheel work with a leveling kit or small lift?
Yes, the plus 35mm offset and 8.5 inch width work well on many trucks running a leveling kit or modest lift, though tire size and fender clearance should be checked for your specific setup.
Are these wheels sold individually or as a set?
This listing is for a single wheel. Order four for a full set, or additional individual wheels if you only need to replace one.
Do I need new lug nuts or a hub centric ring for this wheel?
Most vehicles use their factory lug nuts with this wheel, and it is hub centric for many common applications, but you should verify center bore and lug fitment against your specific vehicle before installing.
Is this wheel TPMS compatible?
Yes, the MR703 accommodates factory style TPMS sensors on most applications, so your existing sensors can typically be reinstalled during tire mounting.
What is the load rating and can it handle towing?
Each wheel is rated to 2650 lbs, which covers the needs of most half ton trucks and SUVs used for daily driving, towing, and moderate off road use.
Will I need a wheel alignment after installing new wheels?
A basic alignment check is a good idea any time wheel size, offset, or tire diameter changes meaningfully from stock, even though the wheel itself does not affect alignment angles directly.
Install Instructions
- Loosen lug nuts slightly while the vehicle is still on the ground
- Raise and safely support the vehicle on jack stands
- Remove the factory or old wheel and inspect the hub face for debris
- Mount the Method MR703 wheel onto the hub, aligning the bolt pattern
- Thread lug nuts on by hand, then tighten in a star pattern
- Lower the vehicle and torque lug nuts to the manufacturer's specification
